Pricing was unavailable.
Mova, Inc.
Contour Reality Capture
Mova Contour Reality Capture provides markerless, high-resolution, photoreal 3D capture of almost any surface, whether deformable or rigid, including faces, hands, bodies, and cloth. With the service, every subtle detail is captured—wrinkles around the eyes, flared nostrils, pursed lips, billowing fabric—with over 100,000 polygons per frame at up to 120 fps. And Contour provides precise vertex-continuous tracking of any surface mesh that the client's animation team specifies (or tweaks) at any time, even after the shoot. Performers are made up and costumed as they would for a live performance, thus they have complete freedom of movement within the volume. FDA-approved flesh- or lip-colored phosphorescent makeup is sponged onto skin and lips, and transparent phosphorescent powder is dyed into cloth. For small capture volumes or head-mounted systems, as few as two cameras can be used, or for large volumes with multiple performers, as many as 200 or more cameras can be used. Contour is compatible with many popular animation software and hardware systems, including those by Vicon. Contour data can also be exported as OBJ, C3D, or Autodesk Point Cache 2 files, and synchronized with SMPTE time-code. Contour can be used simultaneously with marker-based capture and/or with live-action shoots under synchronized lighting.
PhaseSpace, Inc.
Impulse optical motion-capture system
PhaseSpace produces the Impulse optical motion-capture system, an affordable, high-end optical motion-capture technology. With 12-megapixel optical resolution, the Impulse system can track three actors in real time, and allows them to interact, with realistic motions, by using active-marker LEDs. These smart LEDs are controlled by a battery pack that gives each LED a unique digital ID, thereby reducing marker swap and data cleanup requirements by a factor of 10 over older, passive technologies that suffer from low-res, 4-megapixel resolution, at low-speed 160 Hz tracking. So, users are no longer forced to choose between speed and resolution. With eight-camera systems priced starting under $50,000 and 24-camera systems costing under $125,000, PhaseSpace offers three times the speed, three times the resolution, and one-third the price of legacy optical motion capture. This price includes unlimited seats of PhaseSpace Recap motion editing and viewing software, which automatically cleans up most of the remaining data gaps since the IDs of the markers are known. Origami Digital is using the system to push mocap to the next level by doing real-time on-screen animatics, whereby the director can control the virtual characters and scenes live, by interacting with the actors as computer animations with a virtual camera. PhaseSpace also is working with the US Air Force on tracking models in a Mach 15 wind tunnel, as well as with others.
PTI Phoenix Technologies
PTI Phoenix offers a range of advanced, cost-effective, real-time mocap solutions for full-body, hand, and facial capture. Its Visualeyez real-time 3D mocap systems offer professional active-optical mocap solutions. A proprietary technology enables the Visualeyez system to operate at high speed, in spite of the simple one-marker-at-a-time capture method that it uses. After a marker is captured, its data is output to user applications with sub-millisecond delay. This results in a very fast feedback response, allowing users to realize real-time operation. HydraNet, meanwhile, is an optional data composition and distribution network application that allows data captured by one or more Visualeyez systems to be composited and streamed in real time to as many other computers as the user needs. Each application can choose the motion data it needs for its own special purpose. Thus, applications requiring high computing power and/or especially parallel processing can easily be accomplished. The company also offers various software and accessories. Pricing was unavailable.
Liberty LATUS
Polhemus has been providing position and orientation tracking systems for over 35 years. Its newest system, Liberty LATUS (Large Area Tracking Untethered System), purported to be the first, true wireless magnetic tracking system (no body pack needed), offers the benefits of magnetic tracking in a wireless solution. Besides being wireless, LATUS covers a large area that is scalable up to 6400 square feet with one system. For an even larger coverage area, multiple Liberty LATUS systems—ranging in price from $13,000 to $64,000—can be linked together. Each marker is fully self-contained in a compact design for seamless integration. Each marker is tracked in space by a receptor that has a receiving sphere of varying range depending on the level of accuracy required. Up to 16 receptors per system can be connected for thousands of square feet of total coverage. Each marker houses the electromagnetic source, control electronics, and a lithium ion battery. Incorporating the industry's most advanced hardware and software, the system's electronic unit processes signals from the receptors to compute the position and orientation in full six degrees of freedom. In addition to motion capture, the LATUS system is being used for military simulation and training ("indoor GPS"), virtual reality, and biomechanics. Recently, Total Immersion used LATUS for an augmented-reality application, as seen on CBS's 48 Hours. Meanwhile, the standard Liberty offering, a wired tracking system, is fast and accurate, and can track up to 16 sensors at a sample rate of 240hz with an accuracy of less than 0.8mm (0.03 inches). It is widely used for sports motion analysis and motion-capture applications where sample rate and accuracy are critical.

15 Questions from the Community
How many inches tall is this Moen 6100 faucet?
what is laminar flow?
A. Laminar flow, sometimes known as streamline flow, occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers, with no disruption between the layers. Basically when they say the Moen 6100 faucet has laminar flow, they are saying it has a smooth and consistent flow of water.
Can this be used with a vessel sink? 4-5" high?
What kind of metal is under the chrome finish?
Does it have a deckplate to help cover two additional holes for 3 hole sink?
what is the difference between ca6100 and the 6100. don't know which one to select.
what is the difference between the ca6100 and 6100. i need one with deck plates to cover add'l holes.
A. Thank you for your question. The Moen CA6100 is the low lead version of this faucet. This item is for consumers located in CA and VT where new laws were passed regarding the amount of lead allowed in plumbing used to convey drinking water.
Does Moen CA6100 include a drain?
Do you have this tap without the drain feature?
Do you supply this tap without the drain feature? I just need a cold water tap.

Investigators believe that overseas hackers were responsible for the cyber attack on U.S. retailer Target Corp that compromised up to 40 million payment cards during the first three weeks of the holiday shopping season, a person familiar with the matter said on Friday.
The person, who was not authorized to talk publicly about the matter, declined to say how the hackers got in or where investigators believe they are based, saying investigators don't want to show their hand to the criminals.
Meanwhile the blogger who first broke news of the breach, Brian Krebs, reported that data stolen from Target had begun flooding underground markets that sell stolen credit cards.
On Friday, Krebs posted another story detailing how he had tracked down phony cards made using information that was stolen as part of the Target data breach:
"Credit and debit card accounts stolen in a recent data breach at retail giant Target have been flooding underground black markets in recent weeks, selling in batches of one million cards and going for anywhere from $20 to more than $100 per card, KrebsOnSecurity has learned."
On Thursday, Target confirmed that someone had hacked into its systems and had stolen 40 million debit and credit cards from stores across the country. The breach apparently lasted from Black Friday to Dec. 15.
As expected, the thieves are using that information obtained from those credit cards to make phony copies that are being sold on black market stores around the world, Krebs found.
Target has said that hackers accessed data on up to 40 million payment cards over 19 days through Dec 15 in the second-largest retail breach in U.S. history. It is not known who is behind the attack or how they accessed Target's network.
A Secret Service spokesman declined to comment on the investigation, which the agency is running.
The retailer reported the breach on Thursday, a day after Krebs broke news of the attack. Target has declined to say how its systems were compromised and has provided few other details about the case.
Target sought to reassure customers that it was safe to shop at its stores and encouraged them to do so by offering 10 percent discounts off most merchandise on Saturday and Sunday, the last weekend before Christmas.
"We're in this together, and in that spirit, we are extending a 10 percent discount - the same amount our team members receive," Chief Executive Gregg Steinhafel in a statement on Target's website.
Groceries are eligible for the discount, though video games, gift cards, mobile phones and a few other items are excluded.
Steinhafel said the company would offer free credit monitoring services and downplayed the impact the breach might have on customers.
"We want our guests to understand that just because they shopped at Target during the impacted time frame, it doesn't mean they are victims of fraud," he said. "In fact, in other similar situations, there are typically low levels of actual fraud."
He promised that the guests would "not be held financially responsible for any credit or debit card fraud."
Separately, Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said in a written statement that "we are hearing very few reports of actual fraud."
She said stolen information was limited to data stored on the magnetic strip.
The hackers did not obtain PIN numbers used to access ATMs or the three or four-digit security codes that are printed on cards to verify online purchases, Snyder said.
She also said Target has provided exposed card numbers to Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Those companies are in turn providing the information to the financial institutions that issue them.
Customers are fuming on social media in the aftermath of the disclosure that hackers broke into Target's systems.
Steinhafel said in a statement online Friday that "the issue has been identified and eliminated" but acknowledged that the problem "has been confusing and disruptive during an already busy holiday season."
To reassure patrons, Steinhafel said Target plans to be in touch with customers affected by the breach.
Steinhafel also noted shoppers' difficulties reaching Target via its website and call center -- struggles that have sparked a stream of vitriol on the retailer's Facebook profile. The CEO blamed "unprecedented call volume" and said the company is "working continuously to build capacity."
Separately, the chain indicated that it has heard of "very few reports of actual fraud" and said customers "will not be held financially responsible for any credit card or debit card fraud."
The company also said that shoppers' PINs, birth dates and Social Security numbers seem to have eluded the hackers.
Reuters, Los Angeles Tmes contributed.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is
designed to help people who suffer repeated bouts of
depression and chronic unhappiness. It combines the
ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices
and attitudes based on the cultivation of
mindfulness. The heart of this work lies in becoming
acquainted with the modes of mind that often
characterize mood disorders while simultaneously
learning to develop a new relationship to them. MBCT
was developed by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams and
John Teasdale, based on Jon Kabat-Zinn's
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program.
This website provides information ranging from the
practical aspects of MBCT classes to the theoretical
basis for its development and effectiveness. Feel
free to explore.
The Mindful Way Through Depression
is a new book written for anyone who
suffers from depression and would like
to find a way to improve their own lives
through mindfulness. It is available
from Amazon.com and local bookstores.
Please see our Books page for more
information about The Mindful Way
Through Depression and other books about
mindfulness and MBCT.
"Using mindfulness training to
prevent and treat depression is
a novel strategy in the West,
though it is a traditional
application of Eastern
meditation practice. Whether you
struggle with depression or
simply want to understand your
mind and emotions better, you
will find this book accessible
and useful. Depression is
epidemic in our society, and I
would love to see this sensible
treatment approach gain ground."
--Andrew Weil, MD,
author of 8 Weeks to Optimum
Health and Healthy Aging
"If I could select one group of
individuals for people to really
pay attention to when grappling
with chronic unhappiness, I
could not think of a better
group than these authors. Not
only are they consummate
scientists, but they are each
personally immersed in the
moment-to-moment mindfulness
that they teach. This book
brings together the
contemplative practices of both
science and insight meditation
in an effective fashion that is
understandable to the ordinary
person--no esoteric practice or
mental health background is
necessary. Read it and see for

My son is 6 years old, 4 feet 3 inches tall, and weighs 70 pounds. He's a big, solid boy. What size/weight bat would you recommend?
Based on your son's height and weight, we would recommend a 28" bat. The -10.5 length to weight ratio of the 2014 DeMarini Vexxum (DXVXY) Junior Big Barrel bat seems like a good fit, but you could also consider a -10 model. Check out the 28" -10 Junior Big Barrel models we currently have in stock: http://goo.gl/tFnWnJ
How does this bat compare up to the old Marucci Cat 5? The old Cat 5 is the best coach pitch bat I've found for my 7 year old, but unfortunately it cracked. I am trying to decide between this bat or the MAKO Junior Big Barrel.
The 2014 DeMarini Vexxum (DXVXY) features a two-piece hybrid design. This means that is has an alloy barrel and a composite handle. The CAT 5 featured a one-piece fully alloy design. The Easton MAKO also features a one-piece design but it is full composite. This means that the MAKO will have to go through a break in period but once it is broken in, it will continue to get hotter over time. Bats will alloy barrels (like the Vexxum and CAT 5) will be hot right out of the wrapper and will not require a break in time.
I am trying to decide between the mako, xl3 and Vexxum for my soon to be 7yr old.? which is the best?
Those are all very good bats. The Easton MAKO will be the highest performing because of the composite barrel and extended barrel.
Product Description
New for 2014! The Half + Half bat that put DeMarini on the map returns for it's first season in Junior Big Barrel play! The DeMarini Vexxum has been crushing the ball for years, and this season it's as mean as ever with its BIGGEST barrel ever! Once the first of its kind as far as two-piece bats go, this year's Vexxum combines an X10 Alloy barrel with a C6 Composite handle. The X10 Alloy used on the barrel is finely-tuned and shaped to create the thinnest possible walls. This keeps the weight down and opens up the sweet spot for unbelievable performance! The C6 Composite handle works in unison with the alloy barrel and is specifically tailored for the single wall construction of the Vexxum. C6 features a wider composite weave, which in turn gives it more flex and unparalleled trampoline when the bat makes contact with the ball! The Vexxum is about as balanced as a bat can get, and is absolutely ideal for players looking to improve their swing speed this season! If you want mad pop and a light swing weight, this Vexxum Junior Big Barrel bat is for you! DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The Vexxum features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Ehhh.... Its' Walmart – Walmart... what is there really to say about this store that probably isn't the same for every other Walmart. The prices are ludicrously low. I mean I could leave there with a whole shopping cart full of food for under a hundred dollars. No joke.
The Bad includes the staff. These people are just not happy to be there. Which I would be too honestly since they get paid nothing, but still. This is a downturn and any sap with a job should be a happy sap. I am just saying...
Also, I want to leave as soon as I get in the store. The atmosphere stinks and I feel like some larger person will fall on me any moment.
Another thing, I feel like I am selling out America when I am there. All the Chinese made products makes me know that I am lining the pockets of two people, Chinese workers and American CEOS. It just kinda makes me feel wrong.
But hey... cheap prices.

Game 39: Orioles at Nats
May 18, 2012, 11:00 PM EDT
Photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
This year's Battle of the Beltways begins tonight at Nationals Park.
Yes, this weekend's series against the Orioles is significant for the Nationals. But it also represents the start of a very significant stretch of games that could go a long toward determining whether this franchise is going to keep itself at or near the top of the NL East all summer.
Beginning tonight, the Nats will play 30 of their next 33 games against teams that currently own winning records: the Orioles (twice), Phillies, Braves (twice), Marlins, Mets, Blue Jays, Yankees and Rays. The only team that's not over .500 during this stretch: the Red Sox, who are two games under and showing signs of life. Wow, good luck with that.
First things first, of course. Tonight, it'll be Edwin Jackson on the mound against Baltimore's Jake Arrieta. Plenty of updates and analysis to come throughout the game, so please check back often…

baseballswami said… Prediction: not once this season will Davey ever take responsibility for a bad decision. He will throw the players under the bus. May 18, 2012 10:21 PM ____________________________Tonight he will talk about poor execution and you know what, that part is true.On the other hande, hit and run with the pitcher at-bat and a catcher running?Ankiel not bunting?Espinosa bunting with 2 stikes? HUH?Desmond against a pitcher who can't throw a strike and he has the bunt sign on instead of the TAKE until he threw a strike. Where is the brain? We are saying this as it is going on and not in hindsight.Very disappointed plus the umpiring was beyond bad behind the plate.
- ehay2k - May 19, 2012 at 2:27 AM
This is on Davey – Ankiel should have bunted Espi over in the previous inning. Instead, he chased fastballs at his neck and we didn't advance the runner. I know Davey likes big hits, but in that situation, you need just one run. A bunt was called for. I know it's one game, but we have given away our most of our losses recently. We seem to have lost a lot of discipline in the field and at the plate, and we sure as hell can't hit.
- D'Gourds - May 19, 2012 at 2:27 AM
Burnett wears his hat the same way. But I understand your frustration. I'm pissed. Espinosa, Ankiel and Desmond had some horrible at bats tonight. Shake it off. Two more to go.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - May 19, 2012 at 2:29 AM
Strop looking like Henry Rodriguez and the Nats let him off the hook.I don't mind Desi showing Bunt but you can't help Strop out.
- Gonat - May 19, 2012 at 2:29 AM
Davey said it well "You don't have to force the execution of the bunt"

D'Gourds said… Burnett wears his hat the same way. But I understand your frustration. I'm pissed. Espinosa, Ankiel and Desmond had some horrible at bats tonight. Shake it off. Two more to go. May 18, 2012 10:27 PM ________________________________There was nothing wrong with Desi's at-bats tonight and as a matter of fact he is the only reason it went to extra innings unless you forgot that. Even that doubleplay was smashed. Easily could have been a double or triple if the 1st baseman wasn't on the line. That's why its a game of inches.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 19, 2012 at 2:36 AM
What a disappointing effort by a mass majority of the team. Ejax made one mistake walking the first batter, and it back fires.Desmond can't get a bunt down, and then grounds into a double play. (that is coaching for sure, despite the fact some of you think coaches are just advisors. That is why they should be coaching). 97 MPH pitch to end the game on an 2-0 pitch that dribbles 50 feet. One of the few times all year ALR looked clueless. Still can win the series, but sure can't with the hitters taking the night off again.
- ehay2k - May 19, 2012 at 2:42 AM
Go at, the bunt attempts on balls that were way out of the zone – that was an at-bat that was beyond bad. He hit the DP ball hard, but he should have WALKED. That was pitiful, and Davey called Desi on it in the postgame. No, I'm not a Desi hater, but my 11 year old son knows to lay off pitches when the pitcher is struggling. And if the team needs a base runner (and always if the bases are loaded) he will let a wild pitch hit him. Sometimes, these Nats cannot think.
- Swift Eagle - May 19, 2012 at 2:45 AM
Manassas Fan, I guess we just disagree on the role of a MLB hitting coach. I don't think Eck is deciding who bunts and which guys take more pitches or choke up. I don't think it's his role. maybe it should be, but it isnt. Agree to disagree
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 19, 2012 at 3:09 AM
If it isn't his rile, why pay him? he writes all kinds of things in his binder. Seems like a waste. If I hire someone to coach a group, that would be what I would expect him to do. Strategies are the managers responsibility, being trained to execute the strategy is the coach's responsibility. excuting the plan is the player's responsibility, and few of our hitter's take that resposnibility and actually do it in RISP situations. Easier to fire the hitting coach and at least pretend you care, than to just let it go. We do not agree on what the role is I can tell.However the get rid of Eck bus is alive and well (and has been for three years) at my house. I know if I did my job that poorly I would get canned.

The video was nothing out of the ordinary. She looks veeeery pretty though , I like it.
I love how the Britney parts stick in your head more than Will I Am's
^^ You're welcome
She IS still one of the biggest pop stars in the world. Some people not liking her behavior or looks does not change that.
All of her albums have debuted #1 in the world. The only album which did not in the US (debuted #2) is the one which got the best reviews from the critics.
You can see on the X-factor that often you can hear people scream twice as much when she enters compared to the other judges.
And yes I do think she has a serious mental illness. I would guess bipolar with side disorders (like OCD and social anxiety). Maybe multi-personality disorder. It was really weird when she was talking with a British accent all the time, even when she was crying.

Ohh I completely forgot about that. Happy bday Brit brit! She'll never see this but whatever.
Agreed on that rotating cube GIF... eff Kim Kardouchian... this is what I see as actual sex appeal (with a big ass).
Last edited by HollowShield; December 5th, 2012 at 03:47 AM.
She might have been doing it for a long time but it has increased a lot with age and reaching it's peak around the time she was having her breakdown.
Obviously it is more than a cute habit when it has reached the point of you still doing it when you are upset and crying.
At this point in time it should be obvious Britney Spears is mentally ill. I'm a hardcore fan of hers but I'm not gonna be in denial about it.
I think the main reason behind why Spears' life's so disastrous is because she was thrust into the spotlight when she was in her "formative years". She hadn't really matured and the fame got to her head. A number of people who entered the entertainment industry at the right age, in other words, after the completion or near-completion of college did not suffer the same fate. Take for example, Alicia Keys, Madonna, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, all graduated from college and although they had problems; they never reacted to them as badly as Spears did. What are your thoughts and opinions on this?
The poor 12 year-old child had her brain washed and freeze-dried by the Disney Corporation.
Why is her life disastrous? She was paid about 18 million dollars to be on xfactor. She owns a 8.5 million dollar house.
When was the last time you did that?
I actually have come to like her now and I forgive her for this.
Her life is not disastrous at all. She is still young and she can do whatever she wants. Ever since she lost her mind she actually IS talented.
How was her life disastrous? She made it through and now she's back on top, that's a pretty sweet life imo.
As a former crazy fan I can tell you she was extemely ambitious, she knew what she was doing since early age but everything backfired.
But her life isn't disastrous anymore, she is actually very lucky, and the big secret is that she is actually very talented, but she gave herself up to the industry to achieve the sucess she has, she lets them manage her.

Let my life be so disatrous.
She had the strenght to pull herself up from the abyss, good luck to her.
"You may only be one person to the world, but you may also be the world to one person"
- anonymous quote.
She's white trash that got lucky and she's not very smart.
Never cease to find it strange
How at midnight things seem hopeless
But by dawn they've changed
and for someone who has bipolar disorder she has done very well.
and I love her facial expressions
fuck britney spears. for real, let me repeat. FUCK BRITNEY SPEARS.
she wouldn't be where she's at if it weren't for the machine behind her and the people that eat that bullshit up. seriously, what talent does she have? everybody around her except HER is responsible for her success. she literally is a puppet that never worked to get to where she's at and still to this day, she still has people that basically are the ones that do everything for her. write her songs, plan on pr moves, teach her how to dance, and etc. i don't care what anybody says. to make it all worse, she CAN'T sing. she's a singer that CANNOT sing. how many artists out there with singing talent can't get deals or are struggling to sell records and SHE out of all people is getting all this attention. she is NOT ambitious. it's the people AROUND her that are ambitious enough to put her to the top. the person who was ambitious was her mother. that's WHO i give props to. her mother was the one that was making all the moves and then from there, other people jumped in. britney spears is NO michael jackson, prince, rick james, barbara streisand, and etc.
to say that her life is disasterous is an insult to all of us people out here that have to struggle in life to simply get the simple things while busting our ass off while someone like her basically has had shit handed down to them. she's literally been pushed to the point where people have been brainwashed into liking her vocally challenged ass.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
^you're a man with issues.
how does her life whether they are success's or failures reflect on yours?
I like her now because of her struggles.
Refuji is just green with envy of anyone that makes it.
"You may only be one person to the world, but you may also be the world to one person"
- anonymous quote.
I once called her a sports team for homosexuals. Someone whose shirts you can wear and banners you can wave and who you can support 1000%. I stand by that comment.
Is she still living?
and the only struggle she has and continues to have is her narcissism. she is a narcissist. she literally has done it all to stay in the limelight from getting pregnant from a deadbeat daddy and marrying him to shaving her head. the sad thing is there's people that actually feel sorry for her and yet it never occurred to them that a lot of the shit she does is for attention because she's used to being talked about. she ain't bipolar.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
The people in the soup kitchen smell bad and are unpleasant to look at. Besides, they don't perform pop ditties for me to purchase. I'll stick with Ms Spears, thanks.
Britney worked her ass off since she was a child.
She isn't a puppet, she is aware of everything and she allows it, for over a decade she was the most famous person in the planet because she wanted to, but her huge ambitions and naivety backfired at her.
Currently she is smart enough to be extremely sucessful despite putting basically no effort into her work.
To be honest, i dont think this girl has such a huge talent. Her voice is weak, cant play instruments and doesnt write her own music (at least back days), she is a good dancer though but Britney is supposed to be a singer in first place and she is very weak in this area.
I also think she was totally unable to handle with her mental disorder back days (adding the break up with Justin Timberlake) and thats why her career declined that much but fortunately, she regained the fame these days. She was so so so lucky because once a singer´s success fades, it is a bit hard to come back to the spotlight.
The funny part is when Timberlake made money off their break up and Britney´s private life LOL. I love Timberlake music but what he did is a bit disgusting.
She was the last to know.
show me the proof.
her MOM was her manager. she was the one that was executing all the moves in the beginning for little brit. she was the one that got her to the talent shows and the mickey mouse club. don't know about everything else BUT what i do know is that britney spears never was the one that was responsible for her success. everything from her music writing, to the dance moves, to the business decisions, and etc is basically done by everybody BUT her. it would be one thing if she could sing BUT she can't even do that.
you britney spears fans will say anything to make her look like she legitmately worked her way to the top. PLEASE.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
Anyone who can pull themselves back from that sort of breakdown, let alone a very public nervous breakdown, has my respect. For most people hitting rock bottom occurs privately, with no recognition by the public. I can only imagine how much harder it would be to recoup and get your feet back under you when it's done in the glare of the public eye and with paparazzi following your every move.
She obviously has a very strong support network behind her. But without the inner strength to do the work, she'd could just as easily have ended up another "Hollywood casualty".
Whether you like her music or not, think she's talented or not, that's a woman with a hell of a lot of inner strength. I think people are so quick to judge, so quick to make comments without understanding the impact a mental health issue can have on a person. She rebuilt her life and she came out on top.
and I think of you for the fine work you do for the poor people of your city
When fame was too much for her, she couldn't get out of it, the label didn't allow it and her allies became their enemies, her same record label put "Cry me a river" out and sent JT to talk about her private life to boost his career, they forced her to go on tour and do interviews when she didn't want to, That's the naivety I'm talking about, she used to think they were on her side, and then she made a bunch of horrid decisions.
And she's never been an artist, she's a commercial pop star, I know that, a celebrity like Beyonce, Christina aguilera, Lady Gaga, Rhiana, Kate Perry and their mother Madonna, they ALL rely on other people to be what they are, they have limited talents but big teams of people behind them.
And Britney worked her ass off to perform and promote the way she did, she was a talented performer, not anymore, that's how she got what everything she has, no one handed it to her without a reason.
And I used to be a super fan, not anymore, but well I still know a lot about her.
Why is Britney Spears's life so disastrous?
Because she's a damn Republican. :P
Seeing the title of this thread made me think she had died or something.

Service members and their families and friends can call and text the Veterans Crisis Line numbers and can chat online at www.MilitaryCrisisLine.net.

VA is working to make sure that all Veterans and their loved ones are aware of the Veterans Crisis Line. To reach as many Veterans as possible, VA is coordinating with communities and partner groups nationwide, including community-based organizations, Veteran Service Organizations, and local health care providers, to let Veterans and their loved ones know that support is available whenever, if ever, they need it.
Act Now
People experience emotional and mental health crises in response to a wide range of situations—from difficulties in their personal relationships to the loss of a job. For Veterans, these crises can be heightened by their experiences in military service. When emotional issues reach a crisis point, it's time to call on the Veterans Crisis Line for support.
Sometimes, a crisis may involve thoughts of suicide. Learn to recognize these warning signs:
The presence of the following signs requires immediate attention:

Comments On Nov 17, 2012:I've been riding for two years now and the bike is my only way to go. I've got goosedown jackets and carhartt pants and insulated boots and a full face. I had insulated leather gloves. but after about 5mins. if it was cooler than 55 degree, you could count on the fact that you were going to get colder and colder each minute until you arrived. After saving up for and doing large amounts of research about these gloves, I decided to go ahead and get them. Installation took 5 mins. They are a little snug, but I understand that any leather item has a break-in period. I turned the heat all the way up and began to ride. 40 degrees outside. 30 minutes later of highway speeds on my shadow, IM CONVINCED! It gets hot enough that you have to turn it back down. I feel as though I could ride for days now. Extremely satisfied with performance, quality and the new quality of riding life.

Stenson opens door for FedEx hopefulsBy DOUG FERGUSON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 22,2013ATLANTA Henrik Stenson was so flawless that he built a nine-shot lead at the turn Saturday in the Tour Championship.
Four bogeys in the rain on the back nine at East Lake put him right back where he started the day and injected some hope for Dustin Johnson and a few other players.
Stenson made two bogeys on the last three holes he made a 12-foot par putt on the other and had to settle for a 1-under 69. That gave him a four-shot lead over Johnson going in to the final day of the PGA Tour season.
This is far from over not only the Tour Championship, but the FedEx Cup.
Stenson appeared to have both wrapped up when he got up-and-down from a bunker on the par-5 ninth for a tap-in birdie to reach 14 under, nine shots clear of Johnson. Everything changed as the rain began to fall.
Stenson pulled his approach into a corporate hospitality area to the left of the 10th green. He hooked a tee shot on the 14th that ran across a cart path and under a bush, and he had to make a 12-foot putt for bogey. He made bogey from the bunker on the 16th. What really stung was a three-putt bogey on the par-3 18th.
I think Ill choose to look at it from the bright side, even though the weather is not that bright at the moment, Stenson said after setting down a rain-soaked umbrella. Started the day with a four-shot lead and I still got it. So thats all that matters really.
Stenson was at 11-under 199, and everyone except for Johnson (7-under 203) and Steve Stricker (5-under 205) were within six shots of him.
Johnson made two late birdies and two solid pars, getting up-and-down after a close call with the water on the 17th, and then making a 30-foot par save on the last hole for a 67 that put him in the last group and gave him a chance to see who he was chasing.
Johnson was the last man into the 30-man field at East Lake, and he left Chicago on Monday not sure whether he would get in. Now he at least has a shot to start and end the season with a victory.
If I keep driving it straight, then Im going to give him a run tomorrow.
Stenson is still in great shape to go home with a lot of money $10 million for winning the FedEx Cup, $1.44 million for winning the Tour Championship. Even if he were to finish third, he still would be in good shape to win the FedEx Cup.
Tiger Woods, the No. 1 seed, didnt make a birdie until he chipped in on the 14th hole. He rallied for a 69, the first time he has broken par all week. Woods was at 3-over 213, 14 shots behind in a tie for 26th.
Among the other FedEx Cup possibilities Sunday:
Stricker, who had a 68, could win the FedEx Cup by winning the Tour Championship. He could win with a runner-up finish, provided Stenson finished lower than ninth and Zach Johnson in the group at 4-under 206 was worse than seventh.
Zach Johnson, the No. 4 seed, still had a shot at the $10 million even without winning. He was seven shots behind, but one scenario if for him to finish runner-up and Stenson to finish third.
Yes, even Dustin Johnson is mathematically still alive as the No. 30 seed. He would need to win (possible), have Woods finish last (possible) and make sure Stenson finishes in the 15th place (total long shot). Johnson wasnt interested in all that math and it wasnt his field of study at Coastal Carolina, anyway.
They didnt require math, he said.
All he cares about are the scores, and hes still in with a chance after making up five shots on the back nine. That was mostly Stensons doing. The Swede got loose with a few shots, and the rain didnt help.
I cant really complain that it was any tougher for me than for anybody else, Stenson said. When you lose a little bit of momentum ... its just hard to find your rhythm again when youre kind of jumping in and out from underneath an umbrella and trying to whack it to get back in underneath again. So its a little more difficult, but we still kept it together. Like I said, weve still got a four-shot lead.
If anything, he felt bad for Adam Scott, whom he led by four shots at the start of the day.
Scott felt so miserable overnight and Saturday morning that he had IV fluids administered at East Lake and only showed up on the range about 25 minutes before his tee times. He was sick and it showed with a 40 on the front nine. Scott wound up with a 74 to fall nine shots behind, and was thankful to doctors for getting him ready to play.
Pretty disappointed, because I felt like I could have made a run today, Scott said. When youre body is feeling so lethargic and heavy, the club feels like it weighs 60 pounds. And it was just hard work to get anything moving.
That might have ended his bid for PGA Tour player of the year. A win would have given the Masters champion three wins (including a major) and the FedEx Cup, which might have been enough to trump Woods and his five wins (no majors).
DIVOTS: Stenson was able to find another 4-wood overnight and played with 14 clubs. I didnt use it once, he said. ... Jordan Spieth, playing in the final group with Stenson and Scott, shot a 71 and was in the group seven shots behind with Justin Rose and Billy Horschel. ... Phil Mickelson shot 70 and was nine shots out of the lead.MORE IN Wire SportsCHICAGO Nene started thinking about how it would all unfold in the middle of the night.

Yesterday (May 8, 2013), Jodi Arias was found guilty of murdering her boyfriend. Actually, she more than murdered him, she virtually obliterated him. Stabbing him 29 times, shooting him in the face, and slitting his throat almost from ear to ear. She made damned fucking sure he was dead.
That alone should qualify her as a psychopath. However, she's also a pathological liar. She had several versions of her story, finally admitting that she killed him but in, as she termed it, "self defense." She trotted in battered woman syndrome, post traumatic stress disorder, and just about everything but the kitchen sink in an effort to beat the rap.
She may get the death penalty, but should she? The syllable "path" in "psychopath" and "pathological liar" indicates a sickness. She's not a mentally healthy person.
pathology (n.) "science of diseases," 1610s, from French pathologie (16c.), from medical Latin pathologia "study of disease," from Greek pathos "suffering" (source)
As revolting as the murder was, can we separate her guilt from the sickness from which she suffers?
More generally, suppose all crimes could be traced back to some sort of pathology. What would happen to the entire concept of guilt? And suppose that once a pathology was identified, there was a "cure." Could we ethically hold people responsible for their actions before the cure, given their diminished capacity for making proper ethical choices?

I am in favor of Life in prison - give her lots of books to read, a clean, safe cell with a window and decent food and then leave her there.
I am against the death penalty because people make mistakes, too many people have been executed by the government in the Untied States who did not deserve it.
I also do not believe the state should have the power to execute people. The only time a person, acting on behalf of the government should be allowed to kill another is in a war zone.
Life in prison should be life in prison. Maybe there are circumstances when a murderer can be allowed back into society but I'm having trouble imagining what those circumstances would be.
If LIFE in prison is torture so be it. An execution; however, is always going too far. I wish Osama Bin Ladin were living in a 20 x 20 cell at the top of the Chrysler Building in New York and never let out.
To reply to Unseen's more interesting points:
Part of keeping people healthy is holding them accountable for their actions. Serving a full sentence should be seen as part of any treatment regimen. So I would say ones state of mind is irrelevant. You can be guilty and sane or guilty and crazy but never innocent by reason of insanity. If this were our policy there would be a lot less crazy people.
If I spent half my life doing drugs and alcohol then I made myself nuts and and am responsible for what I do in that state of mind. It is Jodi Arias' responsibility to get healthy.
I am against the death penalty because people make mistakes, too many people have been executed by the government in the Untied States who did not deserve it.
I understand but what about when someone admits to the murder, as she did?
Sometimes people claim to have committed crimes and it is later proven that they could not have done it. I don't know of a law that can be devised that ensures only truly guilty people are executed. Once you open the door, the wrongly accused will be pushed through it.
Whether or not people who have mental problems should be held accountable is a much more difficult question to answer.
But if they lie about their guilt, that takes the burden off us, doesn't it? Is there no situation in which it's time to stop asking questions?
Your arguments against wrongful execution equally apply against wrongful conviction, so how can you even justify going through the motions of a trial?
I've been having my doubts that justice is even possible given that, as famous law professor Avery Friedman opined after Caylee Anthony was unexpectedly acquitted, "Of course another jury might have convicted her."
Who will reject the good because it's not perfect?
Unseen will if it stimulates discussion.
Have you taken any philosophy courses? Conceptually, The Good IS perfect. If it's not perfect it's not The Good.
The only time a person, acting on behalf of the government should be allowed to kill another is in a war zone.
When those who order the war do so in order to steal another nation's assets? Or when their god tells them to order a war? Or when they feel slighted by another nation's leader? Etc, etc, etc?
... the amount of damage doesn't really matter, dead is dead. You make a lot of assumptions in your argument.
It actually matters a lot in terms of what charges to find her guilty of and it matters even more when it comes to the penalty phase in which aggravating factors can make the difference between life in prison or the death penalty in her case.
Interesting. How to factor in someone's genetic predisposition to being violent. One's genetics are beyond one's control, after all.

"Alabama cities lead list of porn-loving religious places, poll says"
My first reaction was not to take the dare. As we say down in south Alabama, "some swamps don't need draining," even if the swamp is AL.com, the face of new journalism in our fair state.
But something just didn't seem right. What sorta poll would have pollsters calling up folks around the country asking them (1.) "are you religious," and if they answered yes, following up with (2.) "do you love porn?"
So I checked it out, and guess who did the polling?
No one. There was no poll revealing that Alabama cities were high among the "porn-loving religious places." The article beneath the headline was based on another article that was based on research undertaken by researchers working for PornHub.com, a pornography website, and published online by BuzzFeed.com.
PornHub.com bills itself as the world's biggest porn distributor, which I doubt because there is no Wikipedia entry for it, and we all know that if it isn't on Wikipedia . . . .
As for BuzzFeed.com, according to Wikipedia, it is "a website that combines a technology platform for detecting viral content with an editorial selection process to provide a snapshot of 'the viral web in realtime.'" Huh?
Well, the "viral content" Buzzfeed detected was a report compiled by researchers at PornHub.com. (Dear readers, do not go to PornHub.com to see what it is all about. You might be scarred for life or, worse yet, find yourself a statistic in a research report like the one that was the subject of the BuzzFeed article. You have been warned.)
Now, I am not exactly sure how or why the folks at PornHub.com came up with the research project that led to the BuzzFeed.com article, but the decision might have been the result of a conversation among researchers employed by the porn site that went something like this:
Porn researcher No. 1 to porn researcher No. 2: "You know what I did over the weekend?"
(Look, surely porn researchers have lives outside the realm of porn research. So I imagine this sort of conversation was pretty common around the PornHub.com office.)
Porn researcher No. 2 replies: "No, what?"
(A reasonable response, given the options available to porn researchers.)
Porn researcher No. 1: "I took a look at that recent Gallup poll, you know, the one that ranked cities by how religious their residents were."
Porn researcher No. 2: "So?"
Porn researcher No. 1: "People in those religious cities are into porn."
Porn researcher No. 2 gets really interested and asks: "How do you know that?"
Porn researcher No. 1: "Because they visit our site."
And with that revelation, the research that led to the article that led to the headline was set in motion.
I am not sure whether their inquiry was an effort to search out and expand a market niche, or if it was a way for porn people to fire a zinger at anti-porn people who seem to cluster under the Gallup poll category "very religious." Whatever the motive, this is what they discovered.
Eight of the top 10 "very religious" cities where folks watch a lot of online porn are in the South.
The Bible Belt.
Of the remaining two, one was in Michigan and the other was Provo, Utah, in the heart of Mormon country.
Go figure.
This raises a number of questions, not the least being whether cities that aren't "very religious" watch even more online porn than cities with significant "very religious" populations.
The porn researchers didn't say.
What they did say was this: Of all the "very religious" cities that watch a lot of porn, the one that leads the list is Huntsville-by-gum-Alabama.
This set my mind reeling back to 2010, when the owner of a Huntsville adult-items store, "Pleasures" ("your one-stop romance shop"), challenged Alabama's ban on sex toys, a ban passed by a Legislature that conveniently did not ban owning the items, just selling them. That allowed Alabamians, including legislators, one supposes, to go online and order — or just watch.
Which folks down in Montgomery are doing, for according to PornHub and Buzzfeed, Montgomery came in second in the race to the top of the "very religious" cities where citizens visit the PornHub website.
That leaves me with just one question: Do these Montgomery visits to the PornHub website coincide with the times when the Legislature is in session?
Now that would be really interesting to know.
Meanwhile, "Pleasures," well aware of the needs and desires of Huntsville's porn-watching citizenry, has expanded to five locations so it can better serve its customers.
The free market marches on.
